DEUDORIXINM 37 



base, which widens outwards to the disc, is limited above by the median vein and the 

 basal third of vein 3, and hindwards by the sub-median vein, immediately above which 

 are a few black scales, its colour is much as in Rapala xenophon, Fabricius, but 

 somewhat paler ; vein 2, where it runs across the upper outer end of the streak, is black. 

 Hindwing also black, but somewhat paler, a large fulvous-red patch in the lower disc, 

 broadest towards the abdominal margin and narrowing gradually outwards, making 

 the l)lack of the outer margin gradually narrowing to the anal angle where it is 

 somewhat diffuse, and from whence a broad paler brown shade runs up the wing, close 

 to and parallel with the abdominal fold, which is pale brown and becomes very pale 

 upwards ; anal lobe black with a white spot in it, and another sub-terminal white spot 

 in the black border in the next interspace ; tails black, tipped with white. Cilia brown, 

 becoming white-tipped on the hindwing towards the anal angle, and pure white on the 

 abdominal margin. Underside silvery greyish-white. Forewing tinged with pale 

 lirownish-ochreous, narrowly on the costa and outer margin, broadly at the apex, 

 Hindwing with a paler brownish-ochreous tint at the apex, an inner curved series of 

 blackish spots above the anal angle, which commences from close to the abdominal 

 margin in a curiously shaped W-curve and is continued from the upper outer end of the 

 curve in an outwardly curved series of spots, which curve in upwards close to the 

 margin and become obsolete before reaching the apex. The anal space outside this 

 series is almost pure white, there is a black spot on the anal lobe, another in the 

 first median interspace, a small blackish mark in the interspace between them, and still 

 smaller spots in the interspaces above ; terminal line black. Antennae black, with 

 white spots on the joints beneath, and a dull orange tip, and a white streak below, 

 beneath the club ; frons white ; head and body brown above, white beneath.
